FARM-Africa’s AGM focuses on empowering rural entrepreneurs

FARM-Africa stakeholders and supporters gathered at the offices of Hogan Lovells in London this week to learn about the progress that FARM-Africa is making in transforming farmers in eastern Africa into rural entrepreneurs.

Expert staff from the UK and Kenya presented on the impact of FARM-Africa’s work linking communities to the private sector and markets for their produce.

An energetic panel discussion on the role of enterprise based agriculture in Africa was chaired by Madeleine Bunting, Associate Editor of the Guardian. Koome Imathiu, Vice President, Helios Investments, Kurt Hoffman, Director, TransFarm Africa, Stephen Nairne, Managing Director of Lundin for Africa, Dr Christie Peacock, CEO of FARM-Africa and Dr Martin Evans, Chairman of FARM-Africa took part in the discussion that was broadcast live to the International Fund for Agricultural Development in Rome.
